Ripples, Polly and Jason are playing on the rapids of a river when their playing is interrupted by the passing of a shoal of eels. Icarus explains to his little friends that the eels are swimming up the river looking for a quiet spot where they can breed. Meanwhile a small eel that has been left behind continues trying to swim upstream but without success. The three friends set out to help the eel in its attempt to swim the rapids and reach the rest of the shoal, but will they be successful in their mission?
